This is a common problem with MemoryStream usage in code ported from java.

Try this workaround (it works fine for me):
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/164680/streamwriter-incorrectly-disposes-underlying-stream
Basically decorate the underlying memory stream (the argument to StreamWriter) as:
streamWriter(new NonDisposingStreamDecorator(memoryStream))

Hi,

We have already implemented PDF generation using JSP taglib and everything works just fine, but right now somebody wants pictures instead of PDF files, and is somehow difficult for us to switch now to Java method.
If there is any possibility from your side to add such a feature in the taglib implementation will be wonderful.
I mention that we have bought already PD4ML license from you.
If possible for you to make such a change, how time do you think will take untill we can use this feature?

Best regards,
Valeriu

Hi PD4ml,

any hope about this?

#27607

We are using 371b1 Pro (Trial), and we does encountered the mentioned ‘double header’ issue.

On our side, I generate the webpage with JSP, and assign header using JAVA code. As we try to print our paperwork on an A4 page in landscape with 2 columns, so as to simulate 2 A5 printout side by side.

The header has 100px tall but it seems to spare 200px tall. The header is not duplicated itself, just left a white space below itself.

And the header is not shown except page 1.

I does turn on the enableSmartTableBreak(true), while header contains a table. The height of the header is set to -1 so as to let it decide the height automatically.

Is there any incorrect setting I need to take care? Does my given information enough for you to check out what is wrong?

#28221

Does this valid in PD4ML if I wish a particular block not to be broken:

div{page-break-inside: avoid}

#28219

Here this is the HTML that I try to print using PD4ML:
download fromdropbox:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9697160/PackNote.htm
I applied page-break-inside:avoid in tr with class ‘noBreak’

When I set enableSmartTableBreaks(false); or not apply the statement, it can split table without spliting table tr row, just the table header does not repeat.

When I set enableSmartTableBreaks(true); as the table cannot fit completely in the first page, it completely moved to the second page. leaving the first page with blank area.

PD4ML is great in helpping us developing our print out function but just this spliting not yet fulfill our print test. Really look forward to see whether it is because of my table html / css or JAVA set wrongly.

The ver of PD4ML we used: 3701b1 demo (we need to see PD4ML fulfill our test in order to buy the volumn licenses)
code for html generation: JAVA/JSP
how we use pd4ml: we build jsp report and use PD4ML to handle the print by mean of converting the built pdf file to bytearray and send to our printer.

#28218

Previous post typo mistable, it should be
enableSmartTableBreaks(true);

#28217

I have the following CSS and table html

tr.noBreakCell{
page-break-inside:avoid;
}

<table>
<tr>
<th>header 1</th>
<th>header 2</th>
<th>header 3</th>
<th>header 4</th>
</tr>
<tr class='noBreakCell'>
<td>cell 1</td>
<td>cell 2</td>
<td>cell 3</td>
<td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
<tr class='noBreakCell'>
<td>cell 1</td>
<td>cell 2</td>
<td>cell 3</td>
<td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
...
<tr class='noBreakCell'>
<td>cell 1</td>
<td>cell 2</td>
<td>cell 3</td>
<td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have a number of tr row with class = noBreakCell, I found that when I not use:
pd4mlObj.enableSmartTableSplit(true);

the table is break while row does not break inside, this is fine.

But I try to have the table header repeat on different page, it turns out that the whole table is being moved to the next page instead of splitting into multiple page, did I use anything wrongly?

In order to find an appropriate font to display a text string, PD4ML walks the following lists:

private static String[] serifFallback = new String[] {

"Mangal",
"David",
"Batang",

};

I guess, in your case an existence of SimSun among available fonts should help.

Thanks, this was very very helpful – I’d sure go insane without this information!
However, the paths to fonts and pd4fonts.properties have to be monitored and corrected carefully. Even the https://pd4ml.com/examples.zip I downloaded did not work in Linux nor in Windows. I had to set the absolute paths to files in run.sh, and then it worked. I suppose the person(s) who made the example were working in root directory, or something like that, and that therefore it worked for them.

Also, setting of the fallback fonts would be great option in the future, but at the moment it can be easily hacked – if you do not want to/cannot use some font from the list above, simply change in pd4fonts.properties the line of some existing font

#this is an autogenerated file. please remove manually any references to copyrighted fonts
#Tue Apr 19 06:51:26 GMT-07:00 2011
# font.dir.location=fonts
KaiTi_GB2312=SIMKAI.TTF

change KaiTi_GB2312 to some font from the hardcoded list

#this is an autogenerated file. please remove manually any references to copyrighted fonts
#Tue Apr 19 06:51:26 GMT-07:00 2011
#font.dir.location=fonts
SimSun=SIMKAI.TTF

and everything will work fine.

I am trying with version 370fx2. the following html containing chinese text works .

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
常常有不同的方法來寫同樣的漢字，這些被統。有些差異是由於性格的簡化，而有些則是純粹的字形差異，如中風造型。在造型的招用的明朝風格的字體來自康熙字典中使用。在大陸中


</body>
</html>

However with Japanese html it does not works

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>

煙草

Am I missing something here? And one more question, do we need to specify <P> each time?

Tried with multiple versions of PD4ML with no result.
